Installation available in South Florida (Broward County and nearby counties) from the local licensed contractor. The license details are here.

We sell chargers and adapters with worldwide delivery.

Charging stations from ChargePoint, KEBA, ABL, Schneider Electric, Tesla Wall Connector and others are suitable for home installation. The cost ranges $500–$2000. However, it will be faster and safer to entrust the installation process to a licensed electrician. You can choose and purchase a suitable charging station on our website.

The vehicle can be charged from a standard 120V outlet. However, a dedicated EV charging station has advantages in terms of speed and safety.

Yes, up to a 5–year warranty for equipment sold by EV Adept. And often there is a manufacturer’s warranty for the equipment we recommend, and free returns.

The average cost to install a standard L2 EV charging station is $450–$1100. The average cost is $775. The cost of the stations themselves ranges from $350–$2000, depending on which Level 1 or 2 you choose.

Typically, an electric car kit contains a cable that connects to the car at one end. The other end of the cable can be connected by changing its adapter to a different socket:

• both to 120V (USA)/240V (USA & Europe);
• to three-phase (for Europe);
• to a charging station outlet (for example, with direct current).

The number of public charging stations is ever-increasing. The PlugShare service has the most complete base. Owners and users of chargers can independently add new points to the map.

For private clients of EV Adept in the USA, the most common equipment is Level 2, with an SAE J1772 (Type 1) connector. Check out other options and how they compare.

Private EV users often need to charge EVs at home. If you’ve got a long way to drive, then L2 high–speed charging may be needed. Sometimes people just buy a second set of L1s, which is permanently installed in their garage.

Level 1 — often already in the car. Its power is 3–5 miles of range per charge hour. Level 2 is a separate device. Its power is 18–28 miles of range per charge hour.

In short, the difference is in the charging speed up to 100% of the battery capacity. Level 1 – Slow, Level 2 – Medium, Level 3 – Highest Power, and Defined Charge Rate.

Level 1 — For the USA, 16A is limited to 120V and the maximum you can expect is 1.9kW of power (for Europe, 3.8kW). For an EV with a 75kWh battery, this means waiting about 40 hours before being fully charged in the US. Using this, you can charge an electric car without special infrastructure simply by plugging the adapter into an AC outlet. Power is 3–5 miles of range per charge hour.

Level 2 — up to 9.6kW peak power (240V, 40A) AC. But it will require special installation in the USA, as you would with an electric stove. In the home version, the price of chargers starts at $500, for the street — from $1000. The speed is higher. Its power is 18–28 miles of range per charge hour.

Level 3 or Direct Current Fast Chargers — charging with powerful direct current up to 350kW. Charges up to 80% in 20–30 minutes. Its power is ~100 miles of range per charge hour. DCFCs are located in commercial or industrial locations.

For private use, the price is influenced by the

• Available current
• Type of connector (TYPE–1 J1772 is suitable in the US)
• Number of ports (connectors)
• Cable length
• Communication (Wi–Fi, 5G, Ethernet, LAN, RS–485)

The agency’s new MPG sticker for an EV has four key elements:

• kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100M);
• pg-equivalent (MPGe);
• annual electricity cost;
• cruising range.

For example, a Tesla model X Long Range Plus will have approximately 351 miles for mixed highway/city driving.

The battery capacity of any electric vehicle is measured in kilowatt–hours (kWh). For example, Tesla Model X P100D has a corresponding figure of 100kWh. That is, its battery is capable of delivering power of 100kW for one hour or 1kW for one hundred hours.

In the case of charging at home, the cost depends on the cost of electricity ($ per kW). On average, for the United States, one kilowatt of electricity costs from 11 to 21 pence. That is, charging a Tesla Model X 100D will cost from about $15.29 (i.e., with a typical MPG).

The values are approximate. In general, the formula looks like this: Price of one kW ($)·Battery capacity (kWh) = Charging price ($). Use the EV cost charging calculator for easy calculation.

If the EV is charged at public stations, the cost depends on the specific charging rates. Sometimes, the price for one kilowatt is several cents higher than home charging. Sometimes public charging is free.

Try the EV charging time calculator to estimate the waiting time. The battery of an EV with a capacity of 75 kWh will be charged:

• from a standard household European outlet in ≈21 hours (voltage 240V and current strength 16A);
• from Tesla Wall Connector in ≈4 hours (the time depends on the network capabilities and the availability of the Dual Charger option in the car);
• from charging stations with a current power of 22kW for ≈3 hours (KEBA, ABL, Schneider Electric);
• from Supercharger or ChaDeMo in ≈1.5 hours.

Take the Tesla Model S 75D battery as an example, which has a capacity of 75 kWh. To fully charge it within an hour, it is necessary to supply 75 kW of power to charge it within five hours — 15 kW. The maximum power of the charger can be calculated using the formula Volts·Amperes = Watts.

In reality, the charging speed may be uneven, and the time may vary, but in general the charging time is calculated using the formula Battery capacity (kWh)/Charger power (kW) = Charging time (h).

A network of charging stations created and maintained by Tesla, Inc. specifically for charging Tesla electric vehicles. The network includes more than 25 thousand stations.

Specifications:

• voltage 480V;
• DC;
• power output per EV is 120—250kW.

Fully 120kW charging a Tesla Model S 90D (90 kWh battery) from zero takes 75 minutes, 55% charging (180 miles of travel) in just 30 minutes.

Yes, the American Tesla does not support charging from a three-phase outlet. An inlet type is different (e.g. CCS Combo in Europe).
